I&#39;m truly awed seeing them contentedly being on what would be extremely cold water, and standing, resting and walking about on the snowy ice.<br />Not having lived with such temperatures except via my fridge or freezer, I keep being amazed at how their webbed feet do not freeze.<br />Truly wondrous, even though the reason is a logical one, I just think of my own feet... well they would just freeze solid and snap off.<br /><br />Sad story of the Mute Swan.<br />Too often such stories happen. When not sufficient thought is given to the consequences of introducing a non-native species to an area that could survive in the wild, the result is usually devastating to something.<br />Interesting how often something introduced will flourish almost better than native flora and fauna.<br />I hope a balance can be found.<br />I know toads in Australia are devastating for wildlife, especially native frogs, and toads are still increasing and spreading regardless of methods applied.<br />It&#39;s not the toad&#39;s fault, just like it isn&#39;t the rabbit&#39;s fault, but they are devastating to the environment they are not a native of.<br />Thank you very much for your visit to my Blue-face Posting.
